Rename our community park to Roy Sharp Community Park

We, the residents and visitors of Sunnybrae, Tappen, and Salmon Arm, ask that the directors of the CSRD approve a change to the name of Robinson Creek Community Park , to Roy Sharp Community Park.

Roy Sharp was a well loved and respected member of our community who was always willing to help out his friends and neighbors. Even people who did not personally know him recognized him and a friendly wave on his many walks along Sunnybrae Road. Roy was tragically lost to us on May 5, 2017 in the Robinson Creek mudslide. Our community park is not appropriately named, as the creek does not even enter the park. Furthermore, the sign to the park is heavily damaged and needs replacing. Replacing the sign with “Roy Sharp Community Park” would be a great memorial to a long time resident of the area, and bring greater meaning to the name of our community park.
